Long-term RNAi knockdown of α-synuclein in the adult rat substantia nigra without neurodegeneration
α-Synuclein plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD); interventions that decrease its expression appear neuroprotective in PD models. Successful translation of these observations into effective therapies will be dependent on the safety of suppressing α-synuclein expr...
